Sometimes things don’t live up to expectations. The first two installments of the 2019-20 Battle of Alberta lived up to expectations. Tonight, we get round three. The Calgary Flames (26-19-6, 58 points) head up to Alberta’s capital city to take on their beloved Edmonton Oilers (26-18-5, 57 points) in a game with tremendous emotional and standings repercussions.
The game begins just after 8 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
